Banana Bread Brownies
A delightful fusion of banana bread and brownies! These moist, nutty bars topped with rich browned butter frosting are an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
2 eggs
3 bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
For the Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
Directions:
Prepare the Oven and Pan:
Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. Grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.
Mix the Batter:
In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, sour cream, softened butter, and eggs until creamy.
Blend in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
Bake the Brownies:
Spread the batter evenly into the greased pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Frost:
Allow the brownies to cool slightly until warm but not hot.
Prepare the Frosting:
In a large saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until it browns to a medium golden color, stirring frequently.
Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar. Gradually add the milk to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Finish and Serve:
Pour the frosting over the warm banana bread brownies and smooth with a spatula.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.
